    I believe this is something related to Sleep Apnea.

    Making changes to your lifestyle can also help with mild truck driver sleep apnea. Moderate weight loss, avoiding alcohol and sleeping pills, sleeping on your side or stomach, and ceasing use of cigarettes have all been known to help treat sleep apnea in truck drivers.

    Search about it and read more on how to treat it.

    I dont like meds at all. I believe you can work through stuff yourself instead of using chemicals that just make things worse.

    The rest of your advice though makes sense. Maybe a hobby or something.

    It sounds to me that you have a few things going on. First, you must eat properly. If you don't eat a lot, break it up into smaller and more meals. Also it sounds as if you do have insomnia. There are 3 types of insomnia; 1. Falling asleep 2. Staying asleep 3. Going back to sleep. You need good solid sleep daily. In conclusion eating properly and being rested help keep your central processor (brain) in good working condition. If you don't see improvement by making some simple changes then no matter how much you dislike doctors the responsible thing is to go see one.

    i wish you the best.
